[Techtalk] MSN connectivity problem

[Meredydd Luff]

Hey there,

If you're still stuck, launch Wireshark, tell it to start capturing on
eth0, and put "port 1863" into the filter field on the capture dialog
(note, NOT the one in the main window - they're maddeningly
incompatible). Then try to connect, and see what happens. Does it
establish a connection? If you're not familiar with wireshark, holler,
and we can give more comprehensible instructions :)
